Application Description
The PXEV is a versatile tool suited
for a wide range of customer
5
applications. Two basic examples
are presented below.
6
Schools and Dormitories
An excellent application for the PXEV
is a Schools and/or Dormitory
7
scenario where each elementary
school in a school district or college
dorm (building) on a campus has a
8
three-phase main meter. The PXEV
could be used to graphically compare
each building, thus determining which
9
is the most energy efficient.
Monitoring Secondary Transformers 10

projects are planned and engineers
12
need to determine if additional power
transformers need to be purchased/
installed. In the case where more
13
transformers are not necessary
to carry the expansion load, the
information from the PXEV can
14
assist in providing significant
monetary savings. 15

dark displays that can be hard to see,
15 especially from a distance. Eatons
IQ 150S/250S meters have a large,
bright red, three-line LED display, each
16 line more than a half-inch tall. This
display is very easy to read, even if the
meter is installed at a height or distance.

Loss of Excitation
i Loss of field protection or loss of
excitation is used to avoid unstable
operation, potential loss of synchro-
ii nism, and possible damage to
synchronous generators. When a
synchronous generator loses its field,
1 the generator can continue to generate
power as an induction generator,
provided that it can obtain its
2 excitation from the other machines on
the system. During this condition, the
rotor will quickly overheat due to the
3 slip frequency currents induced in it.
Loss of excitation in one machine
could jeopardize the operation of other
4 machines beyond their capability, and
also the stability of the entire system.
The EGR-5000 supports the two typical
5 distance relaying schemes used for
detecting the loss excitation. The two
schemes differ mainly in that scheme 1

Application Description i
Eatons VacClad-W metal-clad
switchgear with Type VCP-W vacuum
breakers provides centralized control ii
and protection of medium voltage
power equipment and circuits in
industrial, commercial and utility 1
installations involving generators,
motors, feeder circuits, and transmis-
sion and distribution lines. 2
VacClad-W switchgear is available in
maximum voltage ratings from 4.76 kV 3
through 38 kV, and interrupting ratings
as shown below. VacClad-W offers a
total design concept of cell, breaker 4
and auxiliary equipment, which can be
assembled in various combinations to
satisfy user application requirements. 5
Two-high breaker arrangements
are standard up to 15 kV. One-high
arrangements can be furnished 6
when required.

1 All circuit breakers are tested at 60 Hz; however, they can also be applied at 50 Hz with no derating.
13 2 4000 A fan-cooled rating is available for 3000 A circuit breakers.
3 Because the voltage range factor K = 1, the short-time withstand current and the maximum symmetrical interrupting current are equal to the rated
symmetrical interrupting current.
14 4 Based on the standard DC time constant of 45 ms (corresponding to X/R of 17 for 60 Hz) and the minimum contact parting time as determined from
the minimum opening time plus the assumed minimum relay time of 1/2 cycle (8.33 ms for 60 Hz).
5 The asymmetrical interrupting current, I total, is given by (It) = I x Sqrt (1 + 2 x %DC x %DC) kA rms asymmetrical total.

Arc Exhaust Wallfor 27 and 38 kV Switchgear Arc Exhaust wall Figure 5.5-70 is sup-
plied as standard for all 27/38 kV arc- i
resistant switchgear. The arc exhaust
wall must be field installed above the
switchgear. Note minimum 48.00-inch ii
(1219.2 mm) ceiling clearance is
required above the arc exhaust wall
for proper venting of the arc exhaust. 1
All 5/15 kV arc-resistant switchgear is
provided with arc exhaust chamber
(plenum). It is also installed in the 2
field. When using arc exhaust chamber,
minimum ceiling clearance required
above the arc exhaust chamber (plenum) 3
is equal to that needed for field
installation of the chamber. Eaton
recommends minimum 18.00-inch 4
(457.2 mm). Refer to Figures 5.5-72 and
5.5-73 for typical arc exhaust chamber

protection is required. The relay is a
microprocessor-based device that
operates from secondary output of 2
current sensors and provides true rms
sensing of each phase and ground,
and is suitable for application at either 3
50 or 60 Hz systems. The sensing
current for ground protection can be
derived from residual connections of 4
the phase sensors or from an optional
Type-V zero sequence current sensor.
The relay does not require external 5
